webTA 5.0 Transition to GovTA for ARC-hosted webTA Customers

ARC was notified by the webTA vendor (formerly Kronos, now UKG) that webTA version 5 is nearing the end of its supported lifecycle.

After a thorough procurement process, GovTA was selected as the ARC-hosted time and attendance replacement system. GovTA is offered by the same vendor with a similar look and feel to webTA, so it will be an easier transition for end users.

The contract was awarded, and we are waiting for the vendor to give us a sandbox version. We anticipate being able to provide more information, including demos, later this summer.

Cost/Pricing Details

The implementation and transition costs for GovTA will be paid for through the ARC investment fund. This means there will be no direct charges to any customer associated with the GovTA transition project. The only costs to customers will be the standard operations and maintenance (O&M) rate going into FY2024.

We are estimating the per user O&M cost for GovTA will be $136, which is an increase from the FY2023 webTA per user O&M cost of $113. This will be reflected on the FY2024 IAA line ‘System Services – HR’ ($136 x Agency FTE).

Except for the FY2024 O&M costs we do not anticipate any modifications to the FY2023 agreement or unique transition costs in FY2024.

More Information

We are scheduled to get our agency-specific (enhanced) version in December 2023. Based on this date, we are planning three implementation waves: October 2024, February 2025, and March 2025.

Human Resources Officers and agency points-of-contact (POCs) received notification from ARC’s Human Resources Operations Division on March 30, 2023. ARC HR will work with designated agency POCs to finish the agency implementation schedule, develop and distribute employee announcements, develop and present union notifications, and develop a training plan and coordinate training attendance.
